An Analysis of Financial Behavior Among Lecturers at Universidade da Paz (UNPAZ)
Purpose: This study examines the direct and indirect effects of financial experience on the financial behavior of lecturers at Universidade da Paz (UNPAZ).
Research Methodology: A quantitative approach was used, with data collected from 101 lecturers at UNPAZ through questionnaires. Financial behavior was the dependent variable, financial experience was the independent variable, and financial self-efficacy served as the mediating variable. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling—Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) via the WARP-PLS 8 application.
Results: The findings reveal that financial experience directly and indirectly influences financial behavior. Financial self-efficacy mediates the relationship between financial experience and financial behavior, highlighting the importance of self-confidence in improving financial behavior.
Conclusions: The study concludes that both financial experience and self-efficacy significantly affect the financial behavior of university lecturers. Financial self-efficacy enhances the impact of financial experience on behavior, suggesting that strengthening financial experience and self-confidence can lead to better financial decision-making and management. Institutions should focus on developing these factors to improve financial literacy and behavior among their staff.
Limitations: This study is limited to 101 lecturers at a single university in Timor-Leste, which may limit the generalizability of the findings. It focuses on financial experience, self-efficacy, and financial behavior, without considering other factors like financial knowledge or socio-economic influences.
Contributions: This research emphasizes the importance of financial experience and self-efficacy in shaping financial behavior and offers insights for improving financial literacy and decision-making among university staff.
